Record Flexible PVC Output

A builder of twin-screw PVC compounding extruders believes its latest high-torque model has hit an output record. Corotating model E2.134/26 (134 mm diam., 26:1 L/D) from Ermafa Kunststofftechnik Chemnitz GmbH, Chemnitz, Germany, can pelletize flexible PVC wire and cable compounds at 5500 lb/hr, which Ermafa believes is unmatched for that size. The 134-mm machine has 22,000 Nm of torque per screw and a new high-output screw design. The E2 line also comes in 67, 90, and 112 mm diam. Ermafa’s traditional customer base is in Eastern Europe, but it does have machines running in the U.S. Tel: +49 (371) 909-7500 • www.ermafa.de
